Can't send photo until the weekend.
The base of the EQ mounting is retained, just remove the tripod legs. The 2mm plate is bent so that there are two upturned sections at each tripod leg position and the existing mounting "lug" on the mounting base and the tripod bolt sit between them. Just like fixed legs. Sturdy as hell. The holes in the bottom of the plate allow for some Az adjustment. I used the same arrangement for a 10" Meade wedge attachment, no problems in 10 years!!!!
